Among windows apps, very few drive video drivers as hard as Swing does.
The rest are are either 1st person shooters like Quake, where the user
is too busy getting fragged to notice video glitches, or professional
level video apps used in movie work, and those guys use much better
hardware than your average desktop provides.

I've noticed lately that windows users tend to be vociferous whiners,
too.

Unix users can't/won't let Microsoft do all their thinking for them.

What error message are you getting?  I'm running jdk 1.2.2 on RH 6.2
with no problem.

If you have both on your system, it's likely you're running kaffe,
since kaffe puts its binaries in /usr/bin.  

To remove the kaffe package, login as root and use;

  rpm --erase kaffe

When you install Sun's JDK, make sure its bin directory is on your
path.  I put it in my /etc/profile, you could add it to your 
~/.bash_profile instead.  (I use multiple logins on my machine
depending upon the project.)

Thanks Joi and for all replies,
errr the hardware acceleration features not
fully enabled on the card here ( TrioS3/2DX ) clicked it on full and no
problemo. Curious that the mouse trails were only on the java windows.
I am sorry I rattled some cages but all my work is under Linux ... just
cant seem to get those win clients off the network though. The linux / Java
bods seem more switched on than the win crowd ( no offence  ... they are
under duress ) hence the posting here about a 'win' problem.

Cheers.

Sun's Bug Parade identifies a number of issues with the DirectDraw
support required for the Java 2 JVM on windows platforms.
assumption which unfortunately is not met by
many cards.  You have a few things to try:
